Showbox is a free Android app for streaming movies and TV shows. We consider it one of the best free apps available. It even lets you watch videos in HD without any cost.
Showbox isn’t available on the Google Play Store, so you’ll need to follow the steps below to install it.
Intro
If you’re hosting a night party at home, you might use multiple data cables and spend a lot of time syncing and transferring data from your phone to your TV or DVD player. This process is time-consuming and often frustrating.
To solve this problem, Chromecast is an excellent option. It allows you to connect mobile devices like Android and iOS to your TV wirelessly via Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for cables.
What is Chromecast?
Chromecast is a compact, portable media streaming device that allows us to connect our smartphones, laptops, or other devices to a TV or larger screen with a simple click. Google Inc. created this digital tool. At its core, Chromecast is an HDMI dongle capable of running multimedia content on an HD television. It streams directly over a Wi-Fi network. Users can download the Chromecast app, available on the Apple Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android, to access this feature.
Issues with ShowBox and screencasting
Many ShowBox users have encountered issues casting their favorite content to televisions and other Chromecast-enabled devices.
The problem appears to stem from MX Player, ShowBox’s default media player, which fails to transfer media to casting apps.
To solve this, the ShowBox community, particularly the developers of AllCast, has created a replacement for MX Player.
This app, called GrowBox, mirrors MX Player in all respects but also supports ShowBox screencasting.
You can easily find and download GrowBox through a simple Google search.

Chromecast has transformed ordinary TVs into smart screens.
- For those with a standard TV, simply attach a Chromecast to the USB port.
- To get started, install the GrowBox app on your Android device, ensuring MX Player is removed.
